Hello, my name is Chris. I currently live in Lubbock Texas with my wife and baby boy. Life is great and I thank God every day for the opportunities that He can provide for me. I graduated from the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point in 2006 with a Bachelor degree in Graphic Design. After college I landed a job with a company that produces training material for auto mechanics. At that job I took thousands of photos, color corrected them, and placed them into training manuals and other advertising media. When my son was born in Texas, I took that opportunity to peruse my college goal and stay at home and go freelance. Now, father, and business owner out of my house, I enjoy taking on a variety of work which include, but not limited to, designing logos, brochures, business cards, flyers, websites, web ads, campaign design and more. Feel free to take a look at some of the work I have done here: http://www.cgramsgraphics.com/portfolio.html I look forward to hearing from you, Chris Grams
